Rolling Stones fan who fell from rafters may face charges

This may be a little offbeat and it happened in August, but it's another case were citizens witnessed and captured a newsworthy event which made headlines . During the Rolling Stones Fenway Park concert, a fan who climbed into the rafters - and fell - may now be facing charges. [via Channel 7 New England]

"Home video cameras and cell phones appear to have caught her in the ceiling of the right field grandstands, under the retired numbers and the Budweiser sign.

Officials are not certain exactly how the suspect allegedly climbed into the rafters. Police say she hung from the rafters for as long as 20 minutes before she was spotted by security. They managed to clear out the sections underneath her as she hung precariously - nearly losing her pants - off of a beam.

It was then that she took a 40-foot plunge into the grandstand seats below. The fall caused her to break both of her ankles and a wrist".
